Because no one wants to “turn startups into content.” The point of posting on social media isn’t to post. You need to explain an outcome that someone would actually care about.

Here is my source code Run it on the cloud for me I do not care how
In this case it looks like they also bundle together a bunch of the other services you would need to get code onto the platform, monitor it once it’s there and so on
Some amount of adult comment is CSAM, or otherwise broadly disfavored. Some companies (Pornhub, OnlyFans) are willing to specialize in discriminating between “regular” adult content and the objectionable stuff, and they have payment processors similarly willing to specialize.
Some of that specialization involves being willing to take on political exposure. Mainstream payment processors are unusually exposed to risks like “being dragged in front of Congress” — there are a lot of reasons a politician might want to put pressure on a general financial infrastructure provider. So reducing obvious ways to get embarrassingly dragged in front of Congress is rational.
The main useful feature of the apps (or Apple Health’s tracker which is entirely adequate) is that it sends reminders on the estimated period start date, and then a few days afterwards if you haven’t recorded the end date.
Even “regular” periods often aren’t perfectly regular, or can become irregular when they were regular. (Which is often very important health information.)
It also automatically calculates median period length and typical variation/range.
All unnecessary for some people but very useful for others.

Tracker's basics are pretty simple but getting the details right takes some finesse. Its multi-user update model is deceptively sophisticated -- being very responsive without ever losing data is a bit tricky, and you're probably making some tradeoffs you'd rather not make. The drag-and-drop behavior also took us a while to get exactly how we wanted it.
My dog for instance is not particularly food motivated. He believes strongly that there is “food” and “better food” and will hold off until he’s really hungry to eat something that’s just food. But he’s very motivated by attention. He will do tricks for treats he doesn’t like and then drop the treat on the floor once you give it to him.
It’s useful for a variety of reasons to have an LLC or an S-corp but you don’t need one to get started as a software contractor.
Basically the same dynamic that you see in e.g. customer support. A company’s founder is going to be better than your typical tier 1 support person at every tier 1 support task, but the founder’s time is limited and the opportunity cost of spending their time on first-contact support is high.
Elixir is less Ruby-like than the syntax looks. If you build a multi-user document editor or something similarly concurrent that might fit the brain-expansion mandate.
Advertise prices are not the actual prices that people are actually paying.
RealPage doesn’t just show the prices of other apartments around you. It gives a recommendation for what you should price your listings. The heart of the price fixing claim here is that this price is higher than landlords would select on their own.
What actually improved quality on that project was, basically, architecture improvements. A major subsystem was rewritten in a way that made large classes of important bugs impossible. That rewrite was substantially supported by automated tests, though — a rather advanced simulation system IIRC.
I do agree that “automated tests” aren’t especially good at finding bugs. For that there’s really no replacement for human beings who care looking carefully at the system’s behavior, whatever title those people have. They’re mostly useful when they make it safer to make changes to the code’s design.
I’ll have to take your word for it on his vision/strategy though. I worked for him at VMware and never saw him articulate one.
That’s very different from “non-technical.”
He was clearly capable of leading a team to develop a new processor but that’s not the issue here.
The S3 API is a really good example of the “OSS only becomes dominant when development slows down” principle. As a friend of mine who has had to support a lot of local blob storage says, “On the gates of hell are emblazoned — S3 compatible.”
Hashicorp products are a very big part of this world. I’d expect that basically every IBM customer also uses Hashicorp products, but they may or may not have a commercial relationship with Hashicorp.
If you want to call it “Testing and Exploration” you’d get no argument from me. (Though I do think you’ll find that team is hard to staff.)
I don’t know what all was in it (I never played against it) but remember being regaled with tales of what happens when Opalescence and Humility come into play together as part of an effect that puts a bunch of permanents into play all with the same time stamp.
Getting rid of everyone with testing expertise, and treating testing expertise as inherently less valuable that implementation expertise? Sure, you could convince me that was a bad idea.
Granted, I may have just gotten off on the wrong foot. The first thing he said to Pivotal during the acquisition announcement was, “You were our cousins, but you’re now more like children.” So the whole tone was just weird.
